Due to some current craziness in my life... including working 40-50 hours every week, I have decided to take a slight break for a bit. What this means is that I won't be posting much at all the next few weeks. I will still do the follow segments:
My Metamorphosis Monday- but only when I have the time. Since I put my current weight in, I can't really do this post ahead of time, so i will try and get at least one a month in, but it probably won't be every week. However, Chad and I are starting a program on March 1st together, so hopefully I will start seeing some better numbers soon.
Wednesday Words- I can do these ahead of time, so these will continue
Friday Fitness- Again I can do these ahead of time, so these will continue.
I am not sure how long this lite blogging will last... Hoping I can use the time I was spending on the blog to get some projects done. Those projects will be featured in future posts when I return, and I won't have them hanging on my to do list so it should free up some time.

Valentine's ideas
Here are the activities I did with my nanny kids for valentines.....
http://krokotak.com/2012/03/tchestit-8-mart/ (the page is not in English... so I posted the picture to help)
http://www.freehomeschooldeals.com/free-valentines-day-coloring-worksheets-55-pages/ (lots of coloring pages for V-day!)
I also got some Foam hearts from the dollar store... the kids love doing foam crafts. I bought some foam stickers to add to our sticker box. I also got some flat stickers.
I can't remember if I got them from Target dollar bins or from Dollar Tree, but I found the valentine's banners that you can color... I got one for each boy to do.

Letter B activities
I finished the letter B with my nanny kids on Friday. Had some good ideas. Besides worksheets we visited the Bakery, made foam bookmarks, had some fun with bubbles (the day I planned the bubbles, it snowed so we didn't get to go outside, we did some on the screened in porch and then I brought them back on a warmer day!). We also made a bee that looked like the letter B.
Towards the end of the lessons, I brought a bunch of balloons and that was a lot of fun. Even my cat enjoyed that activity! When Chad and I were blowing them up the night before I planned to take them, we were just throwing them on the floor after we blew them up... Prince thought it was Christmas... wish I had gotten a photo!
The end of the unit prize was these foam balls that the kids loved.
Here are the worksheets we did....

MMM- week 28
SW: 156
BF: 32.8
M: 33
Having a very frustrating month. This week I saw some high numbers that I have not seen since I started this journey. At one point this week I was at 159!! I think we found out why thought. I am taking this new medicine for my IBS. Well it makes me go, think "I took a colonoscopy prep drink" go. So I think it is causing me to retain water and my body is not letting go of anything else during the day except when I go, because of what the medicine is doing to me. I plan to give it one more week and then call my doctor. besides the weight gain, I don't like the massive cramps it gives me for 6 hours after I take it.
Other than that, not much to report. I did really good meeting my burn goals this week. Did ok with my food... I stayed under calories, but it wasn't the healthiest options.
Worked out for the first time in a long time on Sunday. It felt ok. I am glad I worked out, but I had gotten a deep tissue massage earlier in the day and so I was already sore from that, the workout made it worse.

MMM- week 27
SW: 156.4
BF: 32.6
M:33.9
Well another not so good week. Not much activity and bad food choices. Especially over the weekend- i think Chad and I were both having a bad day- we ended up getting Chinese and little ceasers this weekend... then sunday evening was a super bowl party at my sisters.
Changing some things up this month... not going to plan workouts on days I work. I think that is why I wasn't doing well... On days I worked I would be too tired and so i wouldn't... then feel quilty and just think the whole week was screwed. So instead of workouts I am just going to try and be more active during the day and maybe take a walk around the block when I come home.
Then do my workouts on the days I am off. This may slow my progress some, but hoping it will help me get over a mental hurdle I am dealing with to make more progress in the long run. Going to see how I am doing at the end of the month- and if I need to make some adjustments next months I will. Thinking I will need to adjust my calorie intake some to compensate, but we shall see.
